Aachen Cathedral
Presentation & Workshop on Origami Mechanisms
RWTH Aachen

Subject: Presentation, Lecture & Workshop
Event: 6th Annual Meeting of the DFG Priority Programme 1542
Title: "Lightweight construction with concrete"
Lecture: "Folding Techniques in Industry and Research"
Workshop: Origami Mechanisms and Structures
Customer/Client: RWTH Aachen University
Location:  T3 Pavillion at the Chair and Institute for Solid Structures
City: Aachen​​​​​​​
Kristina Wißling held a lecture on origami mechanisms and structures followed by a workshop at the RWTH Aachen within the 6th annual meeting of the Priority Program SPP 1542 "Leicht Bauen mit Beton"/"Lightweight construction with concrete" funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)/ German Research Foundation (DFG) .
After the first series of lectures, in which the results achieved so far were presented and discussed, the participants had the opportunity to develop their own three-dimensional folding structures with specially perforated papers from London. This was done as part of a workshop in the T3 Pavilion at the Chair and Institute for Solid Structures after a lecture on "Folding Techniques in Industry and Research- Origami Mechanisms and Structures".
If you are also interested in a lecture and workshop at your university or research institution, or would like to know more about the project, do not hesitate to get in contact.
